An unusual parkup.

The A595 is a long and twisty road north of Barrow. No chance of rushing it, a few vehicles behind me because I was taking care through the narrow parts. The aim was to find somewhere to park up, and Ravenglass looks like it might have some possibilities. 

It's a small village, with a railway, steam trains, Roman Bath House, and a Castle. It would be a good place to start a day out. I looked for a suitable place to park. The big car park for the railway was empty at that time. I read the sign, it said £6 for a day. I took that to mean 24 hours, so I got a ticket. Then I checked the ticket and it said it was valid until 23.59 hours. That's no good. Another car park and the  sign said no sleeping in vehicles allowed. Can't see why not. I suppose it's to deter campervans. There was a quiet street but the sign said residents only. 

As I was walking around a man came out of a house. I told him of my problem. He very kindly said I could park in front of his house, just down the road. I went to have a look and he followed in his van. I was amazed with what I found. 

You can just see his blue van, he parked it next door, as there was no one staying in the holiday let. Dave Shackleton is a hero. He spends his time picking up all kinds of litter and rubbish from the beaches in the area. He sorts it all out and puts it on display at the front of his house. To see it all like this is shocking. Everything you see here has been found abandoned on the beach, swept up from the sea. Even the boat. 

There was just enough room for my car.   

Dave got up early and went off in his van at 7am. I drove to the car park soon after to make a coffee and use the toilets. 

Guess how many disposable lighters are in this box? I don't know, but I like the way he has stood them all on end to make an artistic display. This wouldn't look out of place in an art gallery. 

Thanks Dave, for letting me park on your front. I would never have known about your dedication to clean up the beaches if I hadn't spoken to you. 

I found this sign on the waters edge, which brings attention to the blight of rubbish on the beaches. 

Here are photo's of a beach clean up a few years ago. The moral of this story is, please take your litter home with you. 

Here is a web site with information of  what to see in and around Ravenglass. 

So, after a coffee and a wash and brush up, I was ready for the day. More adventures coming up tomorrow.

Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip.  ilona.
